Simple, more taxes coming in means the need for more IRS agents as well as support staff for those new agents. They'd then also need to order more firearms and more ammunition in support of those agents thus creating more jobs in the firearms and ammunition industry.

The ridiculous belief - I assume - is that if you tax "the rich" they will simply pay more to the government and do with less for themselves. That is complete and utter BS of course. The job creators are going to take care of themselves and their families first, and who can blame them? Wouldn't any of us take care of our own first? So if the rich guy can't say "no" to Uncle Sam and he has to take care of his family first, who is going to suffer? The expendables like minimum wage employees. They lose their jobs and wind up taking public assistance funded by the rich guy's tax money. How does that help anyone exactly? Wouldn't it just be better to let the rich guy keep his money so he can use it to employ people? Even if all he does is build a bigger house with his money, he's going to pay someone to build it, right? That means jobs!

Now the flip side of that are the union mentality people who can't easily have their pay cut or their jobs eliminated. In their minds, the rich guy will simply have to pay more tax AND pay them more, thereby doing with less for himself. Unfortunately, "union" and "reality" don't often go together.

I guess I'm still wondering why everyone is afraid to ask why the rich (by any definition) should have to pay more simply becuase they are rich? That is some BS and it's become a sin to earn a good living and PAY for it without government help?

If anyone wants to be "rich" than work for it, invent something or win the lottery. It sickens me that "we the people" allow anyone let alone our ELECTED officials to keep putting their hand our wallets.

I hope it all implodes and the lights get turned off! The maybe, just maybe we can make some progress.
